Worn by Lisa Gherardini herself

Just as Da Vinci took foreveeeeerr (like 16 years, pick it up broski) to paint his masterwork, this scent takes a while to reveal every layer present.

The opening is a bright, crisp herbal with a peppery bergamot following closely at its heels, capturing you immediately and sitting you down to pay attention. The reward is a mid-drydown reveal of the tuberose and heliotrope sneaking in and taking your notice, with a finish hours later that evolves to a warm floral sandalwood that reminds me of fresh hung laundry on the line.

All in all, this scent was a banger hit with me. I love an evolving scent that reveals itself, like you’ve been staring at a painting and are slowly understanding it more.

Fun Fact: So named the 7753 because the dimensions of the Mona Lisa are 77x53 cm, it’s like meeting someone online then in person, they’re super tinier than you thought. The Mona Lisa definitely has Big Painting Energy.

All in all, fresh, with a lot of movement, and as enigmatic as the scent’s inspiration. Adore it, and wouldn’t mind a bottle of this at all.
